Starting from the destruction of the Land of Light
Chapter 27: Calamity!
The winding mountain road at night resembles a giant black python coiled around the silent mountains.
On the pitch-black highway, a truck was speeding along.
In the driver's seat, Wang Kui gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the darkness ahead, cut by the truck's high beams.
The car radio only crackled with static—the signal completely disappeared once we entered the mountainous region.
In the rearview mirror, all he could see was darkness. The 'treasure' inside the car occasionally jolted and made a metallic clanging sound, making his heart race with anxiety.
According to regulations, no one is allowed to enter the carriage during the escort period, not even him, as the team leader.
"Six fakes, one real..." Wang Kui repeated in a low voice what Longtian had told him before he set off, his gaze sweeping across the rearview mirror. "I wonder if this trip of mine is real or fake."
The tires made a slight crunching sound as they rolled over the gravel on the road.
The mountain wind howled, occasionally whipping up a few withered leaves that spun wildly in the headlight beams.
Suddenly, something flashed past at the bend ahead.
Wang Kui slammed on the brakes, the truck screeching as it stopped just meters from the guardrail on the curve. He opened the door and jumped out, the beam of his flashlight sweeping across the road.
There was nothing there.
The only sounds were the rustling of the wind through the trees and the faint hooting of owls in the distance.
"This is a ghost..."
Wang Kui muttered to himself as he returned to the car, but his hand holding the gun was already soaked with sweat. Under immense pressure, anyone in this environment would easily become paranoid.
The vehicle restarted, and Wang Kui touched the safety device in his pocket. He had made up his mind that no matter what happened in the future, he would not stop to check it again.
If I were really unlucky enough to win the lottery...
Let those who dare to invade try out this firepower.
Meanwhile, on the mountain pass above the winding mountain road.
In the shadows at the edge of the woods, Zhang Chen and Bo Jiaru, each harboring their own secrets, watched the truck speeding towards them below.
This road is generally used for transportation, with large trucks carrying crude oil and chemical materials coming and going. At night, it's filled with all sorts of enormous vehicles.
However, there was only one truck on the road at that moment, so it's no wonder Wang Kui was so nervous.
"Is this the escort vehicle prepared by the Earth Defense Force? It's really simple. If we didn't know in advance, who would have thought that the Ultra Brothers' legacy would be carried in this truck that looks like a moving truck?"
"As agreed beforehand, this is the route you chose and the best ambush location."
Zhang Chen crossed his arms, tilted his head, and smiled.
"This is really a great place, in the middle of nowhere."
Bogaru remained silent, her face grim, her gaze fixed on the truck below. "I did choose the route and location, but how can I guarantee that what's on the truck is genuine?"
"We'll find out if we try," Zhang Chen said. "It's just that the safety device is a bit tricky. I wonder if we can take out the guy in charge of escorting us first, that would make it easier for us to make our move."
"No need for that." Upon hearing this, Bogaru grinned and licked her cheek with her tongue. "The fluctuations I release are enough to interfere with that safety device for a short time. As long as we move fast enough, within a certain range, the safety device will not activate."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen raised an eyebrow.
He looked Bogaru up and down, his gaze lingering for a moment before he slowly spoke. "Since you have a solution, then... ladies first."
As he spoke, Zhang Chen bowed slightly and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Bogaru did not respond, but instead made a grabbing motion in the air towards the direction of the truck.
On the other side, Wang Kui gripped the steering wheel tightly, his nerves taut like a bowstring. This route should have been absolutely safe, but for some reason, the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
Boom!
Without warning, the smooth asphalt road ahead was suddenly lifted up from below by an unseen force, and huge rocks and broken asphalt instantly rose up, forming a deadly obstacle.
"Oh no!"
Wang Kui's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints, and his adrenaline surged to its peak.
Almost instinctively, he jerked the steering wheel with all his might, trying to steer the heavy truck around the deadly trap, but it was too late.
The immense inertia from the high speed made it impossible for this steel behemoth to turn in such a short distance, let alone at such close proximity. In an instant, the front of the vehicle, accompanied by a piercing metallic twisting sound, crashed solidly into the abruptly raised, hard rock.
Bang!
The deafening roar and the immense impact instantly deformed the entire cab.
Wang Kui was tightly bound by the seatbelt, his internal organs seemed to be displaced by the shock, he saw stars before his eyes, and all he could hear was a sharp buzzing in his ears. The heavy truck was completely out of control under the terrifying impact, and like a spinning top that had been whipped into the air, it overturned and swung sideways.
The heavy vehicle screeched violently against the rough ground, sparking blinding sparks and leaving a long, charred, and menacing trail on the dark asphalt road. The air was instantly filled with the pungent smell of burning rubber and rubbing metal.
With a screeching sound of metal scraping against metal, the truck finally came to a stop after sliding a distance on its side, its front end severely damaged and the window on the driver's side shattered.
Just as the noise of the overturning and friction had not subsided, a white figure, like a ghost, silently landed less than ten meters away from the overturned truck.
The broken headlights illuminated Bogaru's exquisite yet cold and lifeless face. Her eyes were calm and unwavering, as if she were merely appreciating a trivial work of art.
On a dark, moonless night, a windy, arson-prone day, Bogaru took his first steps, preparing to walk towards the pile of smoldering scrap metal.
But just as she lifted her foot—
Through the shattered window of the truck's cab, a dark cannon muzzle suddenly appeared, and behind the muzzle were Wang Kui's bloodshot eyes.
Half of his face was stained black with blood, and one arm was twisted unnaturally, but the finger on the trigger was as steady as a rock.
boom--!!
A thick beam of blue-white energy roared out and blasted straight toward the head of the white-clad figure.
Bogaru's icy expression finally showed a very subtle change, but then, just before the energy cannon was about to hit her, her figure blurred and disappeared from the spot like a phantom blown away by the wind.
With a deafening roar, the energy cannon slammed into the ground where Bogaru had just stood, blasting a large, charred crater and sending debris and dirt flying everywhere.
Bogaru's figure solidified again silently, like a ghost, and this time, she appeared on the other side of the overturned truck.
She looked down at her spotless white clothes, then looked up at the cannon hole still emitting smoke.
"You still have the ability to act?" Bogaru's icy voice rang out, devoid of any emotion, yet carrying a chilling contempt.
She seemed to have lost patience to continue watching. She raised her pale hands, palms facing each other, and a strange and powerful purple light suddenly emerged from her palms.
hum!
An invisible force field instantly enveloped the overturned truck. The steel wreckage, weighing tens of tons, was lifted off the ground by an irresistible force, like a child's toy. The entire truck was suspended in mid-air, its twisted metal frame groaning under the strain.
Bogaru's eyes were icy cold. He made an extremely gentle yet destructive gesture with his hands in mid-air, as if he were tearing a thin piece of paper.
*Sizzle!*
A terrifying, teeth-grinding tearing sound rang out!
The enormous truck, suspended in mid-air, was torn in two by an unseen, terrifying force, as if it were a cardboard box being ripped apart. The broken steel and pipes were exposed like internal organs, emitting blinding sparks and hissing sounds of energy leakage!
The two halves of the torn truck crashed heavily to the ground with a dull thud, kicking up clouds of dust.
The originally sealed carriage broke open, and the contents inside spilled out all over the ground!
All sorts of neatly arranged items fell to the ground, and several white metal boxes were opened, revealing all sorts of parts and gadgets. Inside were strangely shaped meteorites, some monster fragments, and even the black mask that had sealed Ultraman Jack's mouth back then.
But the most unique item is a small, square box.
The box was kept inside a transparent glass case, and the outside of the glass case was printed with the so-called "Secret Treasure No. 1" mark.
"It really is the real deal."
Bogaru's gaze was instantly drawn to the device, and for the first time, a look of near satisfaction appeared on her cold face.
However, just as she lifted her foot to make a move, a burst of energy struck the ground directly in front of her.
She turned around abruptly and saw Zhang Chen not far away, holding a silver-white pistol and smiling at her.
"Since it's genuine, I can't let you take it away."
